Price elasticity can be calculated using the attached formula where:
the first term represents the % change in quantity and the second term represents the % change in price
% change in quantity = (100-120) / (220/2) = -2/11 x 100 = -18.1818%
% change in price = (7-5) / (12/2) = 33.3333%
price elasticity = 18.1818/33.3333 = 0.55Note that the price elasticity is usually taken as an absolute value.
Answer: a decrease in accounts payable
Explanation: Financing practices are long-term obligations and equity sales or market incidents. In other terms, financing practices are arrangements with shareholders or creditors that are used to finance business activities or developments.
Financing activities illustrate how an outside agency is financing its programs and enhancements. There is no internal funding involved. Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
Whole life policies provide “guaranteed” cash value accounts that grow according to a formula the insurance company determines. Universal life policies accumulate cash value based on current interest rates. Variable life policies invest funds in subaccounts, which operate like mutual funds.
Answer:
Thailand:
Opportunity cost of computers = 300/20 = 15 tons of rice
US:
Opportunity cost of computers = 800/100 = 8 tons of rice
US has a comparative advantage in production of computers
Absence of trade:
Thailand consumes 150 tons of rice, it can consume = (300 - 150)/30 x 2 = 10 computers
US consumes 50 computers, it can consume = 400 tons of rice
After trade :
10 computers exchanged for 120 tons of rice
Thailand continues to consume 150 tons of rice, it will consume = 12 computers (=10 + 30/15)
US continues to consume 50 computers, it will consume = 440 tons of rice (=120 + 40 x 8)
Both would accept the proposal as both are better off with trade
